Home My WebLink About1997 01 13 Informational Item A i {, COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM A REGULAR CONSENT INFORMATIONAL X January 13. 1997 Meeting MGR I~IDEPT JpJ-- Authorization REQUEST: Public Works Department Advising the City Commission as to the Status of the City of Altamonte Springs Permit Application to Discharge Lake Orienta Stormwaters into the Gee Creek Basin. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to update the City Commission on the success to date of the Lake Orienta stormwater runoff opposition efforts including costs of the interlocal with the City of Casselberry. CONSIDERATIONS: The City Commission authorized the execution of an interlocal agreement with the City of Casselberry on July 8, 1996 to jointly pursue the denial of a St. Johns River Water Management District Permit for the City of Altamonte Springs to use Gee Creek for flood and drainage control. This joint effort has resulted in a SJRWMD staff recommendation for permit denial. To date, the City of Altamonte Springs has not yet and is not expected to file any appeal for a hearing nor pursue formal SJRWMD Board action given the status of their permit application. A copy of the Casselberry City Manager's status letter is attached. The cost for the interlocal agreement to date has been $4,837.67 which was paid from the Stormwater Utility Fund. We do not expect any significant additional costs based the current inactivity of the permit application. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Mail Dear Ron: As we discussed, I am herewith providing a brief status report on the Lake Orienta stormwater runoff opposition efforts. First, as you know, the City of Altamonte Springs' revised request to the St. John's River Water Management District for approval of a permit regarding Lake Orienta stormwater through the Gee Creek Basin received negative (denial) response from the Water Management District staff. We are told, as a result, that the permit is unlikely to proceed in any way based on the negative staff position and normal Board protocol therewith. Further, it is our understanding that Altamonte Springs has not yet and is not expected to file any appeal for a Florida Administrative Code hearing on the matter, nor pursue formal Board action given the status of their permit application. We understand that Altamonte Springs retains their stormwater problem regarding Lake Orienta and intends to pursue other alternatives for the water which would not directly affect the Gee Creek Basin on a . stormwater through-pass basis, as had been the case. Since we have not been directly involved in the study of their problems and alternatives, my staff is not in a position to give further details on the specificity of their plans in this regard', -- Please contact me directly should you desire further information on our efforts or the status of the permit application. However, it appears that we won't.be facing that dilemma again anytime soon, Sincerely, rld4tfA~ ~ ~ -Schluckebier City Manager JMSjr Enc. cc: Members of the City Commission 9697.148 1~;rt~~ A'V~:~~ ;..;~~ ..
